I finally finished a second Kata Felicity Scarf from Mindful Knitting today:
For this one, I used Rowan Kid Classic in Shade #845 "Battle." It's not nearly as soft as the Knit Picks' Andean Silk, but I love it all the same. This one is staying with me. Finally.

I figure it's time for something of an update on what's been going on around here. I've been busy - I might have mentioned that a few dozen times? Having one kid in school - just one! - makes time fly like you wouldn't believe, unless you've been there.
On the tea front, I have a beautiful new setup for gongfu cha that I really need to get some photos of.
On the craft front, I've been happily folding away with my new origami papers and books. Yet another thing I need to get pictures of. The scarf is coming along more slowly now. I usually knit while watching TV, but we've been watching mostly subtitled foreign-language stuff lately, and I find it hard to split my attention between reading subtitles and knitting. Hopefully I'll finish this gosh-darn scarf before next winter. But don't hold your breath.

Ach, where does the time go?!
I've been verra, verra busy these past few months. Taking up exercise again has seriously eaten into my crafting time (and energy,) but I did manage to finish the Kata Felicity Scarf from Mindful Knitting. I used two balls of Knit Picks' Andean Silk in "Slate." I am in love with the softness of this yarn.
I gave this scarf to my sister for her birthday, since the last scarf I gave to her was one of the recycled silk scarves that fell apart.
Next on my list is a stuffed bear for my niece's birthday and two cardigans for my daughters. Then I'll doubtless be burnt out for the rest of the year.
To date, I've given away all but two things I've knitted, and one of those (another recycled silk scarf) has since fallen apart. Therefore, I've resolved that next year I'll spend more time knitting for myself. I have a big bag that I really need to finish, and there are so many other selfish projects I've been putting off: a sweater, a scarf or shawl, some socks, some gloves, and maybe - gasp! - an afghan. Wish me luck!
